Robert Jankuloski’s paintings are on show at Studio 19 Art Gallery in Wollongong from 12th – 23rd November, 2013.

An exhibition showcasing the art of seven recently graduated visual artists from the University of Wollongong:
Megan Baker, Kaitlin Bakalar, Laura Bergmann, Amandine Faggotter, Jacqueline Mcleish, Ellé Misios, and Nik Uzunovski.This show has been curated by Laura Bergmann and Nik Uzunovski.

The theme “question-make-connect” draws on the process of making art and creating an exhibition. Each artist is focusing on a particular question or issue, responding to that question through making and then asking the audience to create connections between individual works and their own understanding of the world and between the works in the exhibition themselves.

Show runs from the 21st November – 1st December2012The Life Of Misfit Shopping Trolleys.

Have you ever seen a stray shopping trolley stranded beyond the boundaries of the local supermarket?
To the average person stray trolleys go unnoticed, semi-molded into the everyday suburban landscape of our consumer society.

Shopping trolleys are an integral part of Australia ’s economy.
It is estimated there are over 2 million trolleys across the country, one for every 11 Australians, with each one costing upwards of $100.
As well as being a significant financial cost, stray trolleys are an environmental hazard to creeks, bush land and waterways.
This first became apparent two years ago when I started photographing stray trolleys in a lighthearted attempt at humor; initially I would challenge myself to seek out obscure locations and the strangest scenarios I could find, uploading them weekly to an online album for my friends to enjoy.
Within months I had captured hundreds of images with minimal effort, revealing a disturbing truth,,,, shopping trolleys are taking over our streets, bus stops, river systems and lane-ways every single day.

None of the photos in this exhibition were staged. All shopping trolleys were photographed in situ… clearly for many their shopping days are over.
Sadly in the past two years the retail industry has spent more than $4oo Million collecting, repairing, maintaining, and replacing these trolleys.

Another week, another exhibition going up at Studio 19. What’s it called? What’s it about? Which artists are exhibiting? We don’t even know!
It’s curated by Josh Wiffen so it may have some street art in it.

Opening night is Friday 12th October at 6.30pm

SHOW OPENS FROM MIDDAY ON THURSDAY 11TH TILL SATURDAY 20TH OCTOBER

what we do know is that there will be some live music by “Spectacles MCs – Y.Etti & 2000faces”

Spectacles are a lyrical electronic rock act from Sydney who have grown from a solo bedroom project to a 5-strong live band in three short years. But on the 12th of October, Spectacles’ two vocalists/MCs are leaving the drums and amp stacks at home to let samplers, synths and their staccato wordplay take centre stage.

Spectacles MCs Y.Etti and 2000faces will be dressed to impress and ready to dissect a civilisation’s failed heart, with gloves off and wits scalpel-sharp. Expect a set of fierce verses, harmonies and improvisation – all set to a sonic backdrop of raw beats cooked up on the spot.
